Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation

Use the Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation cmdlet to associate a throttling policy with a specific object. The object can be a user with a mailbox, a user without a mailbox, a contact, or a computer account.

You don't need to use the Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation cmdlet to associate a user with a policy. The following commands show another way to associate tonysmith to the throttling policy ITStaffPolicy.

The Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation cmdlet defines quota limits for specific objects. For example, if you notice that a user or other object is using excessive bandwidth, you can associate that object with a throttling policy that's more restrictive.

Note:

In data center deployments, the object referred to by the Identity and ThrottlingPolicy parameters must be in the same tenant.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "User throttling" entry in the Server health and performance permissions topic.

The Identity parameter specifies the object to which you want to associate a throttling policy. The object can be a user with a mailbox, a user without a mailbox, a contact, or a computer account.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.

Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The ThrottlingPolicy parameter specifies the throttling policy that you want to be associated with the object specified by the Identity parameter.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
